Why Purple Learning?
The colour purple is associated with balance, enlightenment, creativity and wisdom. It is said purple has calming and mystical properties. This may well be the reason why I have chosen purple or it may be because it is simply my favourite colour!
I’m a Consultant for eLearning, Training and Blended Learning for a training company based in the Heart of England.I have a passion for helping people learn to learn. For creating engaging learning experiences and empowering others to continue their learning journey. I also help people transfer their face to face skills into an online environment, whether running live online events or creating engaging, task driven e-learning and using new technologies to creatively enhance any learning programme. My obsession is for the creation of rich and fully engaging learning experiences by combining traditional, formal learning options with those of the informal. Afterall, 80% of what we learn comes from informal learning.
I live in the beautiful county of Shropshire with my husband and two West Highland Terriers. It is a lovely part of the country just on the Welsh border and although I have moved away several times in the past I always found myself back there.
My hobbies are archery, painting and reading – none of which I have had much time for lately.
Painting – I favour the media of watercolour and graphite and love landscapes,portrait work and life study (although there in not much opportunity to practise that one unless I join a naturist club!). I don’t get much time to do any art but, by way of encouragement, most of my family bought me new paints, brushes etc, for Christmas so I had better get cracking.
Archery – field archery that is, not the olympic kind. This is where a bunch of strange people (and I include myself in that description) waving different kinds of bows, wander round woods in all weathers on a Sunday shooting at targets placed in odd places!
As for reading – I’ll read almost anything depending on my mood but particularly like thrillers.
